Fort worth and the Panhandle.
Ouanah Advance.

Fort Worth has been the initial point
from which all western booms have
started. That city is the doomed and the
boomer. They raise q regular cyclone
when they start anything, and 1t goes
with such velocity that no impeachment
can stand in it's way. They intend to be
successful, and they accomplish their OBJ
iect, and as nothing succeeds like sue
cess, they have become famous, and the
very name OF Fort Worth suggests all the
characteristics with which live and pro-
gressive people are endowed, and it was
from that point and those people
that we first learned Of the great
west and it's possibilities. 1t was
through THE GAZETTE that we first re-
ceived an inspiration to "groW up with
the country" and there are thousands OF
others in the same position and regard
Fort Worth and THE GAZETTE as a kind
" shepherds hand which has led them to
pastures green and beside the still
waters.
While THE GAZETTE has doomed the
CITY to a grand realization, it has borne II
mind that the great country tributary to
it must be developed in order that they
may have prop with which to secure thell
own grandeur. They have cast their eyes
well over the field, and have judged well
of the development of the west, the treas
ures of which are so generously emptleo
into the lap of Fort Worth, and it is to that
city's interest, and they never neglec
that, to lend aid to every material devel
opment of the country which is tributary
to them. In this way commerce has beer
made to spread it's wings over the city
with its iron arms around it, and stand;
the peer of all western cities, and is des,
tined to eclipse many OF the proudest IL
the land. She will be the greatest com
mercial point of the southwest, queer
among the cities of the plains; and the
Panhandle will recognize her mother
from whose womb the first boom was
brought forth which has built our cities
fostered our enterprises and extended
/ the railroads which are crossing oul
country, and spreading wealth, peace ant
happiness through every section of this
| rich and glorious west.

make natural gas are at work almost
everywhere, therefore natural gas can be
found almost everywhere. That is con-
clusion which no longer admits OF ques-
ton. There is no more of "gss belt'
or an coil belt" than there Is OF "dia-
mond belt" or "loadstone belt"
But it does not follow that because
natural gas is to be found almost every
where therefore it can be found in paying
quantities almost everywhere. Nature
provides the gas levishly, she stores
it capriciously. Three things are
needful to the formation of a
natural reservoir for natures gas: A
range of highly porous rock through
which the gas traverses as through pipes;
a large fissure into which it flows, and a
cap or lid Of impervious rock which will
prevent it's escape from the reservoir.
The Trenton, Berean and magnetism
limestone formations have furnished tbs
first two conditions in Penpsyi-
vania, Ohio and Indiana. Other Bcks
may furnish it for other regionss
The cap or lid is sometimes "a
shale, sometimes of dense cOrniferoH
limestone. Given porous rock, Hs-
sure, and a Well-nign air-tight cap to
cover the fssure, and it would seem that
8 paying gas well may be expected with
reasonable certainty in any region ap-
proximate to great swamp, bitumin-
Gus coal or shale field, or an oil district.

Wants to be Set Right.
Bowie Cross Timbers

The Fort Worth GAZETTE is respon-
sible for a very serious reflection upon
the editor of the Cross Timbers. At q
prohibition meeting in our town last
week we were suggested as committee
man to assist in organizing the precinct
into prohibition clubs. Now, we have
always been in active sympathy with the
movement, and in unmistakable language
dedicated the Timbers to the cause, in
the early days of the campaign. We
attended, as delegate, the county mass
meeting, and was on that occasion
made a member of the committee on
resolutions, yet after all this evidence,
our position on the amendment was ques-
toned by feIlow-toWnsman because THE
GAZETTE has not seen proper to place US
in the list of prohibition papers. THE
GAZETTE has done US a great injustice,
and we ask that it devote whole column
to an apology, closing with the declara-
ton that the editor of the Cross Timbers
is an avoWed Prohibitionist, and send 8
special marked copy TO J. R. Frost,
Bowie, Tex. This will supersede the ne
cessity of our psrading the streets of our
city with banner, inscribed: "We are q
PrehiOitionist."

DAHIS-BEAUREGARD TROUBLE.

THE GAZETTE believes it voices repre-
sentative southern sentiment in ventur-
ing the hope that ex-President Jefferson
Davis and eX-General Beauregard may
soon find more dignified and profitable
employment than their recent Indulgence
in acrimonious chickering's and cross
statements about the war and war events.
Both men ought to have reached an age
by this time when they can realize that
life is all too short for such tits between
gentlemen of their high personal, histori-
cal and erstWhile official distinction.
Everybody can recall with pride General
Lees dignifed course when hostllities
ceased and he maintained that course IN
til the day of his death. What golden
example it was. 1t is safe to say that
the mass of the southern people do not
take any interest whatever in the mere
personal phases of the Davis-Beauregard
dispute, no matter how eminent the two
disputants and how firmly grounded they
be in southern esteem. A new genera-
ton has come on the scene of action
in the south. Thousands of men voted
in every southern state last November
who were unborn when Lee surrendered.
They are practical, busy generation, and
care more for the historical accuracy OF
this or that event than any of its personal
environments or accomplishments. 1t was
perfectly natural to expect northern
statesmen and soldiers when peace came
finding occasion (and making occasion
when necessary for carpings and cross
purposes. This is not because they are
northern men and any better or worse
than southern, but simply because the
north was the victorious side, and the
results of the war opened up wide and
tempting field to northern men of smbi-
ton and ability in the way of political
preferments and place. Such field fol
southern men has ever been and is now
more Limited. The southern mer
came out of the struggle with
very little else than the glorious his
tory their section made and the part
they bore therein. They couldn't be
kept down always, of course, and il
good time their race and intelligence as
serted itself. But it does not looH
seemIy, at this late day, to see such s
man as the ex-President of the Confeder-
acy and one of his chief lieutenants
wrangling over war questions and meas
ures. Moreover it doesn't do bit Of
good, and doesn't interest one southernel
in hundred. All of US will much prefer
to see them spend the few years that are
left them in dignifed if not cordial am
ity. The history of the war will be &C
curately and impartially written, no teal
on that score. for the high privates al
well as the high officials are going to hell
write it. And as long as Mr.. Davis ant
General Beauregsrd live the south viii
revere them for the sake Of the position
they held, and when they die the soutl
will bury them with honors becoming
| such men.

ANY teaching, says the New York
Tribune, which persuades men that they
should not depend on their own industry,
self-deniaI and foresight is pernicious,
misleading and false, no matter who
utters it. This is excellent doctrine and
is heartily commended to the Tribune
itself: The whole theory of protection
is based upon the idea that we should not
depend upon our Gown industry, self
denial and foresight" and is therefore
"pernicious, misleading and false" even
though uttered by the Tribune The
Tribune, in trying to demolish the
vagaries of Henry George, has knocked
the props from under it's own house and
must fall with it. Henry George may be
in error, but protectionists have nc
charter to chastise him until they them.

THE National Wool Growers and Sheep
Shearers' Association has just concluded
its labors in st. Louis. Before adjourn
ing it was thought necessary and advisa
BILE to appoint a committee of five to
watch all legislation, both state and ma
tional, and to oppose all measures which
tend to injure the production and manu-
facture of wooden goods. The wool
raisers think, doubtless, that if it pays
railroads and otherlarge interests to keep
loDpies in all the legislative halls, the
wool interest can also be benefited by 8
lobby. This lobby business is not exact,
Iy republican, but 1t may be necessary.

KENTUCKY can beat the world, it is
claimed, on fine horses. good whisky and
pretty women, and now she is trying to
keep abreast of merry England in the
matter of ecclesiastical discipline.
Father Belts, an Episcopal divine, was
recently tried and found guilty of too
much ritualism and too near approach
to Romanism. He was told to recant or
else pack up his traps and leave. He re-
canted. In England, Rev. Mr.. Cox COM
menced cutting up Romish didos, and his
bishop promptly put him in jail, where he
still languishes. America has not gone
that far yet, but Kentucky will keep in
sight of the procession.

bore into the ground and get plenty Of it
to supply the city. A few years ago Fort
Worth thought she was able to get one
railroad, and she got it. She then tried
for another and another until she got ten
railroad outlets, and still working for and
will get more. She concluded that water
was to be had. She went to work and
bored srtesian wells and obtained plenty
water, and we have no doubt but she will
get natural gas, as she has thus far OBJ
tanned everything she set her head on.
